CLASSIFICATION OF STRUCTURES

When any body is subjected to a system of loads and deformation takes place and the resistance is set up against the deformation, then the body is known asstructure. The structures are means of transferring forces and moments.

The structures may be classified as statistically determinate structures and statistically indeterminate structures.

When the equations of statistics are enough to determine all the forces acting on the structures, in the structures, the structures are known asstatistically determinate structures.

When the equations of statistical equilibrium are not sufficient to determine all forces acting on the structure and in the structures, then the structures are known asStatistically Indeterminate Structures.

Classification of Structures

The structures are categorized by their supporting systems. There are one dimensional, two dimensional and three dimensional supporting systems.

Basic system:When a supporting system is subjected to only one type of stresses.

Mixed system:When a system is subjected to several types of stresses.

Line supporting structure:One dimensional supporting system can also be termed as“Line supporting structures”.The Line supporting structure is large in one dimension and small in other two dimensions. The material remains concentrated along a straight, curved or angular line.

Two Dimensional supporting systems:It is also called as“surface structures”. The surface structures are large in two dimensions and small in the third dimension. The material remains distributed along the surface. The surfaces are either plain or curve. The curved surface may possess single or double curvature. A surface structure may also consist of line elements that form a continuous structure.

Shell structures:Theseare rigid curved surface structures. They are built of sheets or plates. The shell roof coverings for large building, planes, airplanes, railroads, cars, ship bulls, tanks etc are the examples of shell structures.

Space Structures:Three dimensional structures are large in all three dimensions and these structures may have any shape. The three dimensional framed structures are also Space Structures.

The structural steel is used for the steel structures. The high strength and ductility are the properties of the particular importance for the structural use of the steel. The ductility is the unique property by virtue of which it is able to deform substantially either in tension or compression before failure.
